  1. UCLA-ATF Chicane CompressorExperiment A. Murokh UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy

  2. Outline • Motivation for chicane studies • need for bunch compression • limitations of the simple model • ATF compressor design and simulations • Chicane Engineering • magnets and vacuum chamber • e-beam diagnostics • Coherent Radiation Studies • bunch length measurements • CER (Coherent Edge Radiation) • Experimental progress and future plans ATF Chicane Compressor

  3. Magnetic Bunch Compression In the chicane larger energy particles move along the shorter trajectory. When the bunch is properly chirped in the linac before the chicane entrance (so that the more energetic particles are in the tail of the bunch) an overall bunch compression can be achieved. The linear term is defined by the geometry of the magnets: ATF Chicane Compressor

  4. Motivation for Shorter Bunches • Advanced Accelerator Schemes • Plasma-Beam Interactions • Laser-Beam Interactions • Wakefield Accelerators • Light Sources • Free Electron Lasers • Inverse Compton Scattering IP ~ 1.3 A VISA 2b example: running chicane allows saturation in less than 3 m. ATF Chicane Compressor

  5. Limits of Magnetic Compression In the ideal world, one can start with the linear chirp, and obtain a perfectly compressed beam, limited only by the uncorrelated energy spread : Other limiting factors need to be considered: • nonlinearities in the e-beam longitudinal phase space before after the linac • non-linear curvature • space charge induced energy modulation • non-flat current distribution • imperfections in chicane construction • non-zero dispersion, due to asymmetry • collective effects • CSR (Coherent Synchrotron Radiation) • velocity field effect • wakefields ATF Chicane Compressor

Reiche, J. Rosenzweig, G. Travish, F.

  7. Accelerator Test Facility • ATF-BNL is a state of the art photo-injector users facility. • UCLA-SLAC-BNL RF gun • 2 SLAC-type linacs capable to deliver up to 75 MeV beam • 3 users beamlines ATF Chicane Compressor

  8. Design Parameters • PARMELA - ELEGANT Simulations Beam Parameters: E ~ 72 MeV Q ~ 200 pC en ~ 1.5 µm Ip~ 55 A ATF Chicane Compressor

  9. Emittance Growth Two mechanisms of ey,n growth: • 2nd order effects due to large beam size • CSR and velocity field effects Final beam: en,x ~1.5 µm (no change) ey,x ~3.1 µm (without CSR) and 5.8 µm w/CSR Initial beam: en,x= en,x ~1.5 µm ATF Chicane Compressor

  10. Model Limitations ELEGANT CSR model limitations: • No velocity field is included; • No boundaries are included; • CSR model is based on a “thin beam” limit: R With the design parameters the Derbenev criterium is not satisfied:sy~1 mm sz~20 µm R=1.2 m UCLA develops a new code, to directly calculate LW potentials.

  11. Engineering Design • System components: magnets, vacuum chamber, stand and rail system, centerpiece e-beam diagnostics, radiation port. ATF Chicane Compressor

  12. Magnets Magnet’s edges provide for vertical focusing, while fringe fields provide for horizontal. ATF Chicane Compressor

  13. Vacuum Chamber Dual aperture chamber: A-magnets off, B-magnets on. ATF Chicane Compressor

  14. Diagnostic Section Beam profile can be measured in 2 positions: on a straight pass or with the magnets turned on. ATF Chicane Compressor

  15. Coherent Radiation Measurements For an electron beam, the radiated spectral intensity depends on the longitudinal profile of the electron beam: Cold bolometer with low pass filters Coherent Edge Radiation (CER) Coherent Transition Radiation (CTR) Far-IR multi-shot interferometer (U. Happek) ATF Chicane Compressor

  16. 45° - Transition Radiation For long wavelengths (l >> lp), spectral intensity of the coherent diffraction radiation from a single electron is flat 45° (peaked at gq ~ 1) CTR q ATF Chicane Compressor

  17. CTR Interferometer • Changing one arm of the interferometer allows to measure the autocorrelation of the CTR signal: (Golay cell window has a low-pass cut-off ~15-20 µm) ATF Chicane Compressor

  18. Data Analysis Fourier transform measured autocorrelation function: Missing long frequencies due to: • Golay Cell window acceptance • Beamsplitter Efficiency Losses • Radiator size ATF Chicane Compressor

  19. New Model of Interferometer New model of interferometer was developed at UG. More sophisticated fitting algorithms can be applied, given the increased resolution of the system. ATF Chicane Compressor

  20. CER Edge Radiation Spectrum Edge radiation is a form of the synchrotron radiation while the beam crosses the boundary of a magnet. (peaked at gq ~ 1) Synchrotron radiation Edge radiation O.V. Chubar, N.V. Smolyakov, J.Optics, 24(3), 117 (1993) ATF Chicane Compressor

  21. CER Angular Spectrum 1 µm 10 µm q ~ 1/g 1 mm 100 µm Limitations of the model: • presence of the vacuum chamber walls • beam aspect ratio ATF Chicane Compressor

  22. CER Measurements System • Radiation port in the vacuum vessel allows extracting CER generated between 3-rd and 4-th dipoles. • Bolometer was purchased from IR labs, to measure CER spectrum. CER port 7-m transport Si bolometer at 4.2 K° Cold filter wheel (low pass ): (13, 27, 45, 103, 285 µm) ATF Chicane Compressor

  23. Experimental Goals • Measure CER spectrum; • Complement interferometric measurements with CER, to obtain data on the bunch length evolution for different chicane settings; • Look for the signs of microbunching instability: Sample CSR “wake” calculation using TREDI ATF Chicane Compressor

  24. Progress and Plans • Vacuum vessel and magnets are installed and tested; • Beam was propagated through the chicane (small dispersion); • Interferometer is being purchased by INFN collaborators • Bolometer was purchased; • CER transport is under construction; • New numerical code is being developed; • VISA -2b simulations show possibility of deep saturation FEL operation; ATF Chicane Compressor
